Yakitori Sumire Shinjuku大ガード店

They do have an allergen sheet if you ask but only like 3 things don’t have wheat and even those that do they cook on the same surface. Definitely would have gotten sick, so we left.

Other Characteristics

This is a great Yakitori place hidden on the 5th floor (5F) of the elevator just before Family Mart. Ignore the Google Map instructions telling you to turn left after Family Mart, the elevator is before it on your left. I showed my waiter a translation of “I can’t eat soy sauce as I am allergic to wheat” and they accommodated me with salt yakitori. The salt yakitori on their menu is naturally GF but they also made my husband’s order GF too. They explained that it would be cooked on the same surface as soy sauce skewers which I was okay with. The waiter asked questions and was very helpful and clear and explained at each serving what I could/couldn’t eat.
